Lama L is the natural and contemporary evolution of the Lama handle designed by Gio Ponti. The lengthening of the lever accentuates the geometric purity of the design, while at the same time improving ergonomics and the fluidity of the gesture. The low round rosette lightens the whole and reinforces formal clarity, giving the grip a leading role. A door designer handle that reinterprets an archetype with balance and rigor, keeping intact the symbolic strength of the sign in a fully contemporary reading.

The latter led Ponti in the direction of linear and coordinated forms that seek harmony in unity with the setting and its logical legibility. He followed this approach when he was designing a handle for the Pirelli skyscraper in Milan.


The resulting model was Lama, a condensation of his vision in which classical symbolism prevails over functionalism.


The geometric simplicity of its shape, so thin as to resemble a blade (lama in Italian) offers a counterpoint to the carefully studied definition of the radii that soften the sharp-edged profile of its flat contours.
